It pales in comparison to what some of you have been going through but I did something to my shoulder and arm sometime in August. The reason I say sometime is that I don't remember when it happened then basically slept for a week under heavy meds. I may or may not have posted under the influence. I am now on a lighter dosage of muscle relaxers and NSAIDS (though the NSAID is pretty heavy duty--750mg--it's enough to dull the pain), though when my sister came by an hour or so ago to bring me some food she asked if I was high. So maybe I'm still kind of loopy. I'm still getting a grip on what's real, what isn't, etc. Stuff I thought happened a day or two back happened 2 weeks ago. That sort of thing.
I really liked the heavy meds... definitely good the doc recognizes my weakness. Ha!
